Archaeological Centre - Scladina Cave

Enter this extraordinary grotto, which is a real time machine, and discover numerous prehistoric animals. Amongst the bears, lions, hyenas and rhinoceroses, you will get to know a child, a young Neanderthal boy with an unusual destiny... Meet our archaeologists and discover what goes on behind the scenes of the excavation team's work, where passion and patience go hand in hand with natural sciences, with the aim of highlighting the behaviour of past men.
